av8orDave Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago First, the good: ED has done an outstanding job of modeling the Fulcrum. The visuals look great, the performance feels right, and it provides a great suspension of disbelief; it feels like you’re in an early 4th gen fighter. The bad: I’ve always suspected, read, heard that the 4th gen Russian aircraft were high performance, short legged, and barely more advanced than a household microwave. They could climb and turn as well as anything, but could do so for barely any time, and were so primitive they wouldn’t be effective in a peer to peer environment. The ugly: The sim confirms the bad. The radar is barely functional, the cockpit ergonomics are horrendous, and the RWR is basically just a noisemaker with flashing lights. So, having said the above, I think the MiG is going to take a ton of practice in order to be able to use effectively. 1
Cgjunk2 Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago The other option besides trying to learn how to use it effectively, is to just pretend you’re a billionaire with enough disposable money to buy and feed your own mig-29. Then just fly the jet with total abandon, roll coal, and make very, very expensive holes in the sky. This plane has the perfect FM for that! 2
